James 2:20-26 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle?

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is idle? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father accepted as righteous through works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? ²² Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect. ²³ And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ Ye see that by works a man is accounted as righteous, and not by faith only. ²⁵ And in like manner was not also Rahab the harlot accounted as righteous through works, when she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
